Investigation of effects of two environmental heavy metals in a combined exposure model on the nervous system in rats [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
In the present study, the interaction of inhalational and oral exposure to manganese and lead was investigated. Young adult male Wistar rats (2 x 10 per group) were treated orally with MnCl2 (15 and 60 mg/kg b.w.) or Pb acetate (80 and 320 mg/kg) for 3 ...

Pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The current paradigm for the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is that chronic airflow limitation results from an abnormal inflammatory response to inhaled particles and gases in the lung. Airspace inflammation appears to be different

Type II Alveolar Epithelial Cells Promote Sepsis‐Induced Immunosuppression in Alveolar Macrophages via Exosomal lncRNA Rmrp Release

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The S100A4/STAT3 axis promotes Rmrp transcription in AEC‐IIs and Rmrp expression in AEC‐II‐derived exosomes. Upon entry into AMs, Rmrp binds to and blocks the ubiquitination and degradation of ZFP36. Increased ZFP36 induced Pfkfb3 mRNA decay by binding to AREs in the 3′ UTR, curbing glycolysis and immune responses of AMs and aggravating SII and ...

Comparison of ILMA Guided Tracheal Intubation in the Lateral Position with the Supine Position

open access: yesAsian Journal of Medical Sciences, 2013
Background: The ILMA has been established as a valuable airway management device in the supine position, in both elective and emergency situations, for both ventilation and intubation.

Intratracheal Administration of Chloroquine-Loaded Niosomes Minimize Systemic Drug Exposure

open access: yesPharmaceutics, 2021
Pulmonary administration provides a useful alternative to oral and invasive routes of administration while enhancing and prolonging the accumulation of drugs into the lungs and reducing systemic drug exposure. In this study, chloroquine, as a model drug,

Homocysteine Exacerbates Pulmonary Fibrosis via Orchestrating Syntaxin 17 Homocysteinylation of Alveolar Type II Cells

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The study identifies elevated homocysteine (Hcy) levels in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis patients' samples, with alveolar type 2 cells as the primary site of Hcy metabolism. Methionine synthase reductase downregulation in these cells exacerbates fibrosis, while folate administration reduces Hcy levels and alleviates fibrosis.

Diesel Exhaust Activates & Primes Microglia: Air Pollution, Neuroinflammation, & Regulation of Dopaminergic Neurotoxicity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
BACKGROUND: Air pollution is linked to central nervous system disease, but the mechanisms responsible are poorly understood. OBJECTIVES: Here, we sought to address the brain-region-specific effects of diesel exhaust (DE) and key cellular mechanisms ...

Metabolic Interplay in Acute Lung Injury: PARK7 Integrates FADS1/2‐Dependent PUFA Metabolism and H3K14 Lactylation to Attenuate Endothelial Ferroptosis and Dysfunction

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
SCAP/ARDS patients show reduced unsaturated fatty acids (UFAs) but higher PARK7 and lactate in plasma. PARK7 correlates positively with lactate and negatively with UFAs. Pulmonary endothelial cell multi‐omics show FADS1/2 downregulation and impaired PUFA metabolism. Lactate boosts PARK7 via H3K14 lactylation, and PARK7 then restores FADS1/2.
